2. What are the advantages of a DBMS?


Ans.:
Advantages of a DBMS
A. Reducing Data Redundancy:

i) In File Processing System, duplicate data is created in many places


because all the programs have their own files this creates data
redundancy.
ii) ‘In DBMS, all the files are integrated into a single database. The
whole data is stored only once in a single place so there is no
chance of duplicate data.

B. Sharing of Data:

i) In a database, the users of the database can share the data among
themselves.
ii) There are various levels of authorization to access the data. And
consequently, the data can only be shared based on the correct
authorization protocols being followed.

C. Data Integrity:

i) Data integrity means that the data is accurate and consistent in the
database.
ii) Most of database are visible to multiple users so it is necessary to
ensure that the data is correct and consistent in all the database and
for all the users.

D. Data Security:

i) Data Security is a vital concept in a database.


ii) Only authorized users should be allowed to access the database and
their identity should be authenticated using a username and password.

access a database according to its privacy constraints.

F. Backup and Recovery:

i) Data loss is a very big problem for all organizations.


ii) In a traditional tile processing system, a user needs to back up the
database after a regular interval of time that wastes lots of time and
resources.
iii) Now user don’t need to backup data periodically because this is taken
care of by the DBMS

G. Development and Maintenance Time:

i) DBMS reduces application development and maintenance time.


ii) It supports many important functions that are common to many
applications, accessing data stored in the DBMS, which facilitates the
quick development of application .

3. What do you understand by Data Model?


Ans.:
Data Model
a) Database is designed according to certain rules. This logical structure of
